“From a tactical point of view, I think he is a perfect fit”

“From a tactical point of view, I think he is a perfect fit," he wrote in The Independent.

He added: “They have already lost Xavi while Andres Iniesta is already in the latter stages of his career so will play less, and they thereby don’t manage to control the ball in the middle of the pitch in the same way, or make it arrive for the forwards at the right pace. They have lost that.”

Liverpool say they won’t be selling Coutinho, but BT Sport pundit Dean Saunders says he thought the Brazilian would move as soon as Barcelona got in touch.
